Rockets re-sign sharp-shooter Troy Daniels

The last time Chandler Parsons went out and Troy Daniels came in could not have worked out better for the Rockets. Parsons fouled out in Game 3 of the Rockets’ playoff series in Portland. Daniels came off the bench to play overtime, nailing the game-winning 3-pointer to get the Rockets back in the series.

The Rockets can only hope Daniels does as well with he and Parsons heading in different directions as he did last time.

The Rockets signed Daniels to a two-year, $2 million fully guaranteed contract on Monday, a day after Parsons headed to the Mavericks. He will not be in the same role or even at the same position, but finalizing the deal to keep the Rockets’ other restricted free agent gave them their first official signing of the off-season.

The Rockets are expected to announce the addition of Trevor Ariza official on Tuesday, when the three-team deal with the Wizards and Pelicans in which the Rockets will trade Omer Asik and pick up New Orleans’ first-round pick along with Alonzo Gee and Scotty Hopkins becomes official.

The Rockets have had talks with a pair of veteran free agent shooters, Mike Miller and Ray Allen, but have made little progress toward signing either, according to a person with knowledge of the talks. Miller has been considering signing with the Nuggets or Cavaliers. Allen has weighed retirement.

The Rockets were also close to signing this season’s first-round pick Clint Capela after initial uncertainty about whether he would jump to the NBA or remain in France for at least another season.

“We are planning our roster for next season,” Rockets vice president Gersson Rosas said. “We expect him to be a part of it. We’re in the process of working toward that.”

The Rockets have been working with Capela on his buyout and FIBA letter of clearance. Because contracts for first-round picks are slotted, there is not expected to be issues with signing Capela once he and the Rockets work through the FIBA clearance.

Capela attended Sunday’s Las Vegas Summer League game but was not in uniform. He has not been on the Rockets’ summer league rosters in Orlando or Las Vegas.

“We are still working to get him to be a Rocket officially,” Capela’s agent Bouna Ndiaye said. “We have been talking back and forth with the Rockets and myself. We’re trying to get him signed. I don’t know when. I guess we’ll do it soon.”

The Rockets selected Capela with the 25th pick of the draft last month. They had been non-committal about whether they would prefer he remain in the French League or make the jump to the NBA, saying they generally like to develop players in their system. Capela, however, has been steadfast that he wanted to join the Rockets this summer.

That, along with signing second-round pick Nick Johnson, could take longer than wrapping up Daniels.

Daniels, who was undrafted out of Virginia Commonwealth, starred in the NBA Development league as a rookie, but played in just five regular-season games with the Rockets. He averaged 8.4 points per game in an average of 15 minutes per game. He had 22 points in the season-finale in New Orleans.

In the post-season, he averaged 17.8 points in 16.9 minutes per game off the bench. He averaged 21.5 points in 48 games with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, making 40.1 percent of his 3-pointers and taking more than three-quarters of his shots from beyond the arc.

He is most recognized, however, for one 3-pointer launched in Portland, with the Rockets hoping that now that he has signed, he can add to his highlight reel.
